imo that&#39;s her step-mother.
If I remember correctly, her parents divorced.

I don&#39;t think Maxima&#39;s parents are divorced. And I think that really is her mom. I tried to find a more picture of Maxima and her mom when she visited Argentina and went shopping with her mom and siblings, but couldn&#39;t. :( But here is a picture of a younger Maxima with her mom, and it looks like the same woman to me -- add on some years, of course&#33;

Princess Máxima was born Máxima Zorreguieta on 17 May 1971 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
She is the fourth daughter of Mr Jorge Horacio Zorreguieta and the eldest daughter of Mrs Maria del Carmen Cerruti de Zorreguieta. She has two brothers, one sister and three half-sisters.

The mention of half-sisters tells me there has been a divorce and a re-marriage. The question is, does Maxima get on well with Mother as well with Step-mother ? Who does she favour more ?

Hi!!.. My dad...was the one of the persons in charge to receive them here in Argentina! He was the one that received or took him to Palacio San Martin if i am not mistaken .. jaja..just wanted to say it! and i have photos of my parents with the kings (but they are from when my parents where invited to Spain)..jaj..kisses

From what I can remember about the articles that I read about Maxima and her family before she and Willem-Alexander married it is Maxima's father who has been previously married. Maxima's mother, I believe is Jorge Zorregueita's second wife.

Yes..M&#225;xima is daughter of Jorge Zorreguieta and Maria del Carmen Cerutti..i think they got divorced (jorge and his first wife)because he was already having an affair with Carmen when they were still married....i Carmen and Jorge have 4 children Maxima, Martin, Ines (who suffered from anorexia) and Juan....i hope this information is useful for you!!kisses! .pau
